My dietitian said they just put moist chicken and canned tuna to week 4. I figured chicken salad sounds very tasty. Scrambled eggs I have not had a problem with and I refried Beans, lentil Soup, cottage cheese, hummus, and Soups are my usual. Looking forward to adding some items.

Thanks! I think I'll try for dinner. I really need to get more Protein in. Just struggling to even hit my 1000 calories my doc wants me to hit.

My the dietitian told me no more “snacks” between meals. It was usually hummus or cottage cheese. She said to stick to 3 meals. Not sure how that is enough to satisfy me.

Ok so I had my surgery on July 9.. the surgery was really quick in total 3 hours that includes recovery. The first day when the meds wore off I really felt it.
I walked anyway and felt much better afterwards. I stayed in the hospital for 2 days and on the second day walked a lot! I had a lot of nausea and heartburn. This continued for the first 2.5 weeks.
Today is my 20 th day I’ve kissed 21 pounds and I’m walking the half hour. Still have the heart burn. Not really eating the purée food much.
I tried some soft cooked broccoli and spinach could only eat 1 Soup spoon. I was full.

I want to know once your surgery is done can you have fluids right away and is it painful to walk afterwards and how long is the hospital stay for the gastric sleeve can some help I have 2 more months.

Yes you start Clear Liquids in hospital. You can not leave until you can hold down. My hospital stay was 1 night. It is painful but it is mostly gas. You must get up and walk. It will help with the gas pain. I only needed a couple days of pain meds and then I was fine using Tylenol for 2 weeks.

Its official!! Yesterday I crossed over to the sleeve side. Surgery went well. I have minimal pain around my incisions. I've keep all my Fluid down and I have been walking every 1-2 hours. Doctor says if i pass my leak test, I'll be heading home later this afternoon. This surgery was nothing compared to some of my other ones. I'm feeling truly blessed and grateful for this tool!! Hope all of the other July sleeves are doing well!!

Congratulationssss!!! Im happy to hear you are doing well and that everything went smoothly! It sounds like this couldnt have gone any better, especially with minimum pain and the ability to keep fluids down. I hope I am as blessed as you lol. Im so afraid of the pain but Im just rying to think positive.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
